Absolutely Nothing This Month

John sees a friend at a table in a bar, drinking by himself.
　
Approaching the friend he comments, "You look terrible. What's the problem?"
　　
"My mother died in August," he said, "and left me $25,000."
　
"Gee, that's tough," John replied.

"Then in September," the friend continued, "My father died, leaving me $90,000."

"Wow. Two parents gone in two months. No wonder you're depressed."
　
"And last month my aunt died, and left me $15,000."
　　
"Three close family members lost in three months? How sad."
　
"Then this month," continued, the friend, "absolutely nothing!"
　　

这个月什么都没有

在一个酒吧里，约翰看到他的一个朋友坐在吧台边独自喝酒。

他走到朋友身边，问道：“你看上去状态不太好，怎么了？出什么事了吗？”

“我妈妈8月份去世了。”朋友答道，“留给我2.5万美元。”

“啊？是吗？这真是太糟了。”约翰说道。

“然后，9月份，”朋友继续说，“我爸爸也去世了，留给我9万美元。”

“哎呀，两个月之内你失去了两个亲人，你一定很伤心难过吧？”

“然后，上个月，我的姨妈也去世了，留给我1.5万美元。”

“3个月之内你失去了3个亲友？多让人伤心啊！”

“然而，这个月，”朋友继续答道，“什么都没有！”
